I can still go back to that time as if it were just yesterday. I can still smell the breakfast in the air, eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast. This was an indication of a good Sunday because not only is sausage on the menu but so is Sade is playing in the background, starting the day off filled with love. This was my mother's favorite artist and no one could put her in a better mood than Sade could. "No Ordinary Love" is a song that brings back wonderful childhood memories of growing up in Tanzania. Family is no ordinary love. We don't get to pick our family and it's the one thing in life that we all wish to belong to. The kind of love my mother displayed and continues to display for us is the kind of love that will always be true and simply unconditional. Family is precious and if you belong to a good one, don't take it for granted. There are others who have no family to share their dreams, goals, successes, failures, and experiences with. Lonely souls wandering without a family, a void that no friend or companion can ever fill.
